Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar Sunday visited the Luban Workshop in Tianjin, China, where he reviewed a technical and vocational exhibition and met with Pakistani students undergoing training, the Foreign Office spokesperson said.

Dar was briefed on the workshop’s programmes and discussed avenues of cooperation in technical and vocational education, which he termed “a vital support to Pakistan’s economic growth.”

The spokesperson noted that the Tianjin authorities provide high-level technical education through the Luban Workshop, where students are trained in mechanical engineering, automation, and IT.
